Say what, now? I'm referring to the fact that there's a word
equivalent to non-existent English _*linguosensorics_, like unto
_lingvoregion_, the equivalent of non-existent English
_*linguoregion_, using what appears to be the non-existent, English
word-forming morpheme, _"linguo_. That is, Russians, like the
Japanese, may be coining their own "English" words.
I have no interest whatsoever in the book, "Lingvosensorica."
I use eastview.com for Russian and other CIS publications.
